Beach Named Man Of The Year By Women's Transportation Group

ALPHARETTA, GA -- Brandon Beach, a Georgia State senator and North Fulton Community Improvement District executive director, has been awarded the Honorable Raye LaHood Man of the Year award by the Atlanta Women’s Transportation Seminar at its annual scholarship luncheon.

The lunch was held Thursday, Oct. 26 at the Georgia Aquarium, and featured Gov. Nathan Deal as the keynote speaker. The award recognizes men who have been key to WTS International’s efforts to attract, retain and advance women in transportation.

“It is an honor to accept the Man of the Year award from such an incredible organization,” Beach said. “It is important that we have women and men in the transportation industry collaborate together to bring about positive change. I have had the privilege of working with women who have been instrumental and inspirational in transportation, and they deserve to achieve the highest levels of leadership.”

Beach has played an integral role in transportation in the metro Atlanta area as president of the North Fulton CID, as well as in his roles with the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce, the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority, Georgia Department of Transportation and as a state senator for District 21.

“I can think of no better recipient for ‘Man of the Year’ than Brandon,” said Kerry Armstrong, North Fulton CID board chairman. “His passion for transportation is unmatched, and he brings the absolute best people in the industry to the table to provide important input to make vital decisions on transportation in the Atlanta area and the state of Georgia.”

According to its website, Women's Transportation Seminar International has more than 6,500 members of both genders who help women find recognition and job opportunities in the transportation industry. You can learn about the organization by clicking here.
